The New York Taxi Workers Alliance had urged drivers to protest Trump’s executive order by not picking up fares at the airport on Saturday night. Uber not only continued to send its drivers, it turned off its surge pricing in an attempt to drum up more business.

The move didn’t sit well with riders — and while Lyft also remained operational during the period, numbers showed that many were turning to the second-tier livery service as a result.

According to App Annie, Lyft saw more daily downloads on iOS than Uber on Sunday — jumping from a ranking of #39 in the free apps charts to #4 by 4 p.m. Monday, TechCrunch reports.

A spokesperson for the San Francisco-based analytics firm told the Verge that Lyft managed to more than double its daily average from the previous two weeks. On Monday, they were sitting ahead of Instagram, Snapchat, Youtube and Facebook on the free apps list.

Since its inception, Lyft has marketed itself as a friendlier, more casual alternative to Uber.

The company tried to take this stance yet again Sunday, by pledging to donate $1 million to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as the #DeleteUber campaign continued to gain traction.

“Banning people of a particular faith or creed, race or identity, sexuality or ethnicity, from entering the U.S. is antithetical to both Lyft’s and our nation’s core values,” Lyft co-founders John Zimmer and Logan Green said in a joint statement. “We stand firmly against these actions, and will not be silent on issues that threaten the values of our community.

While Uber did later announce that they also would be providing three months of compensation to drivers who may be stranded overseas due to Trump’s travel ban, their decision to not join in on the protest at JFK was apparently too much to bear.

Thousands joined in on the #DeleteUber campaign throughout the weekend, including celebrities from all walks of entertainment.
